Tarot
Like many forms of divination, Tarot cards are a tool to help you tap
into your own intuition and the wisdom of the universal energy that
guides your life. Tarot, which has origins in 14th century Europe, is
not a form of fortune-telling. It's more like a mirror that reflects
what is happening in your life at the moment. Tarot is able to tap into
hidden thoughts, feelings, and truths and bring them to the surface so
you can use that information to make decisions about life, love,
emotions, health, career, and more.
Most Tarot card decks consist of 78 Tarot cards broken into a Major
Arcana (22 cards) and a Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards
typically represent significant life events on a large scale, while the
Minor Arcana cards deal with day-to-day life.
When you see a Major Arcana card in a Tarot reading, you are being
called to reflect on the life lessons and themes that are currently
being experienced at this time. A Major Arcana card will often set the
scene for the entire Tarot reading, with the other cards relating back
to that core Major Arcana meaning.
